It's time for a new challenge at <strong>Stamps R Us </strong>and today's theme is ...<strong>Anything Goes</strong>!! For my creation I used this ADORABLE <strong><a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Boys_Men.html"><span style="color: #009900;">Lili of the Valley</span></a></strong> image, he's new and I couldn't wait to ink him up!! I colored his skin with Copics...and the rest of the image is watercolored. I haven't used my watercolor pencils in such a long time and it was so fun to paint again! The sentiment is from <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=19_3&sort=20a&page=3"><span style="color: #009900;">Whimsy Stamps</span></a>, papers and buttons are from my stash. Our challenge will run for 2 weeks...so plenty of time to play along! ...and one lucky winner will win a Copic class from <a href="http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/profile/SuzanneDean"><span style="color: #009900;">Suzanne Dean</span></a>! Now head on over to the <strong><a href="http://www.stampsruschallenges.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #009900;">Stamps R Us</span></a></strong> blog and check out all of the fabulous creations by the other team members!

Today is (<strong>ABaC</strong>) Monday over at <strong><a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Bugaboo</a></strong> and this week it's my turn to share a project with you. For my creation I decided to alter a clipboard. It was sooo easy because the clipboard was already covered in this lime green floral paper and it came with a matching pen!! I picked this up at Michaels for $3! I used one of the gorgeous <strong><a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/butterfly-border-5_p_1911.html">butterfly border</a></strong> images ...cropped and printed out a few extra butterflies. The small scalloped circle in the center is actually a magnet! A very CAS clipboard but I love how it turned out!

I hope you are enjoying the 4th of July weekend! If you haven't heard by now <a href="http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/">OWH</a> is having a Virtual Card Party this weekend! Check out all the details and creations <a href="http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/">here</a>!

The small flowers are cut from felt using a CB flower die...added a pearl to each one. I also made a couple of Yo-Yo's using this fantastic <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVIpZ1gXNLM">tutorial</a>! ...I even cut my fabric out with a circle nestie...it doesn't get any easier than that!!

It's <strong>Oldie but Goodie</strong> day over at <strong><a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Bugaboo</a></strong>!! It's the day of the week we get to showcase a previously released image! Today I chose one of the images out of the<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/pg_garden_cats.html"><strong>Garden Cats</strong></a> collection! I think this image is sooo sweet! In fact, the WHOLE <strong><a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/pg_garden_cats.html">set</a></strong> is adorable! I wanted to make a masculine spring card...so I thought this My Mind's Eye DP was a fantastic place to start...one of my favorite color combos! My image is colored with Copics and the sentiment is from <a href="http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=360_361_752&products_id=11428&zenid=2a5aac93e847f6df2a3c774a209aeec0">AmyR.

Today starts a new challenge at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/"><strong>Catch the Bug</strong></a><strong> </strong>and the theme this week is <strong>April Showers</strong>! For my creation I chose this beautiful <strong><a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/pg_umbrellas.html">umbrella</a></strong> image and colored it with Copics. I used the Sizzix Dots folder for the embossing and the Flower Creations #3 nestie to make my flower. To create the strip of flowers I used the EK Success Daisy chain border punch and a small circle punch for the yellow centers...punched out a couple of photo corners... and there you have it!

I used this adorable little Bee <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/pg_bees.html"><strong>image</strong></a><strong> </strong>...it's perfect for a black tin isn't it?! ...and the sentiment is included with the image! I had a lot of fun creating this project because I've never altered a tin before!

Today starts a new challenge at <strong><a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/">Catch the Bug</a></strong>! This weeks challenge is to make a <strong>Monochromatic</strong> card or project and add <strong>Three Buttons</strong>. I absolutely LOVE the challenge this week and had sooo much fun coloring this image!! A few more to go and I will have a complete set! I'm going to leave them blank inside so they can be used for any occasion. When printing...I cropped around the center flower only ...I wanted the extra flowers for layering. I love the dimension of that flower, it reminds me of a little pinwheel! For more inspiration make sure you stop by the <strong><a id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.c%3cspan%20class=/">Catch the Bug</a></strong> blog and take a look at all of the DT fabulous creations!

Today is Anything But a Card (<strong>ABaC</strong>) Monday over at <a href="http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Bugaboo</span></strong></a><strong> </strong>and this week it's my turn to share a project with you. So...for today's creation I decided to alter a 5x5 notebook that I found in the $1 bin at Michaels! I used the <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/pg_dottie.html"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Dottie Crafting</span></strong></a> image! I just love this image and knew it was perfect for my notebook! My image is colored with Copics to match my flowery K&Co. dp! The notebook is 100ct...plenty of room to jot down some of my favorite sketches, colors combos or clever sentiments! I don't get out of my comfort zone that much and make ABaC projects ...but I love how this turned out and I had a lot of fun making it...so I'm sure I will make more!! Thank you for stopping by today and have a great day!<br /><br />My crafty notebook fits into the following <strong>Challenges</strong>:<br /><a href="http://colourcreatechallenge.blogspot.com/"><strong>Colour Create</strong></a>-3 fruits (banana, kiwi & watermelon) <strong><a href="http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/create-with-connie-and-mary/">Create with Connie and Mary</a></strong>-Inspiration #139 <strong><a href="http://lexiscreations.blogspot.com/">Lexi's Creations</a></strong>-Flowers <strong><a href="http://simplycreatechallenges.blogspot.com/2011/02/38-power-of-flowers.html">Simply Create</a></strong>-the power of Flowers <a href="http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="new"><strong>Stamp Something</strong></a>-something with Flowers <strong><a href="http://stampinbsdesignteam.blogspot.com/">Stampin' B's</a></strong>-use a Flower on your card <strong><a href="http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/">Stampin' Sisters in Christ</a></strong>-3 or more buttons <strong><a href="http://sweetstampinchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Sweet Stampin</a></strong>-Oh so Girly <a href="http://tellensplace.blogspot.com/" target="new"><strong>Tellen's Place</strong></a>-Lets see some buttons! <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><br /><br />Supplies used</strong>: $1 notebook, Copics, K & Company dp, nesties, silk flowers, paper flowers, buttons, felt ric-rac & gems</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690086799859312622-6954951898838363739?l=mycraftcentral.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13965456941562737514noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690086799859312622.post-3015656718658549282011-02-26T05:00:00.098-07:002011-02-27T09:48:04.208-07:00Kiss Me<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-argNrFsDceY/TWp_9IOiqeI/AAAAAAAABpM/VoUc9sImHLc/s1600/Bug26Feb-Kiss%2BMe.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 309px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578411776609004002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-argNrFsDceY/TWp_9IOiqeI/AAAAAAAABpM/VoUc9sImHLc/s400/Bug26Feb-Kiss%2BMe.JPG" /></a>Good morning everyone!
